CVE-2026-17264: CWE-787 in Medixant RadiAnt DICOM
CVE-2026-17264 is a medium severity vulnerability in Medixant RadiAnt DICOM where opening a specially crafted DICOM file with malicious JPEG-compressed pixel data triggers a heap out-of-bounds write. This flaw could potentially allow remote code execution. No affected versions or patch information are provided, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-17264) involves a heap out-of-bounds write triggered by processing malicious JPEG-compressed pixel data within a crafted DICOM file in Medixant RadiAnt DICOM. The flaw is classified as CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating medium severity, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. No remediation level or patch information is currently available, and no exploits are known to be active.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause a heap out-of-bounds write by opening a malicious DICOM file, which may lead to remote code execution. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with the privileges of the user running the software. However, no active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should exercise caution when opening DICOM files from untrusted sources.
